Disney Interactive has officially announced today their new slate of family-friendly digital series. The new slate will bring entire families with premium, original shows, that will premiere on Disney.com and its digital network, engaging audiences with the kind of powerful digital story-telling Disney is known for on whichever devices and platforms they prefer.
This new introduction coincides with a key Disney milestone in which the company has officially drawn more than 500 million fans on Facebook across all of its pages. Disney video content has also reached more than 2 billion views on YouTube. Contributing to Disney’s success on YouTube are hit digital series Swampy’s Underground Adventures, which has been viewed more than 27 million times, and Talking Friends, Disney’s online series based on the hugely popular Talking Friends apps, which has been viewed more than 130 million times.
